We Covet Cool Timepieces For Dads

Okay, so this particular piece of horological awesomeness would be just as awesome on a female wrist as on a male, but as Father's Day is looming and there are never enough cool gift ideas, let's just call this a guy thing and be done with it, 'kay?

Because really, if you get the guy in your life one of these Eames watches, he'll be so awed by your great taste and keen eye for cool that he'll barely notice when you appropriate it for yourself.

Eames Collage Watch, $141.75 @ Delight.com

We Covet Cuffs Made From Vintage Neckties

All this talk about finding something for Dad other than a tie for Father's Day has me wanting one for myself.  But since it's too hot to do the Annie Hall look, I'll settle for the quirky cool of a cuff bracelet made from a vintage men's necktie and buttons.  Casual artiness make these an easy addition to any summer outfit.  Their one-of-a-kind designs will keep you from cookie-cutter mallrat-dom. And cheap and eco-savvy recycled accessories prove that you don't need bling to shine.

We Covet Awesome Man Bags

Guys have difficulties with bags. Laptop bags, diaper bags, whatever - they have trouble finding bags that are suitably manly without being unmanageable, and even when they do find one, they constantly worry that their bag is somehow girly. Every man fears the murse (man-purse). It's like a law of nature.

Defy Bags, however, defy that law. There are no murses here, nor anything that could possibly be mistaken for a murse. These are hand-crafted, hand-sewn, manly-man rugged duffle bags that could carry anything from laptops to diapers to tranny heels without looking the slightest bit girly (I mean, dudes. A bag with a big image of Johnny Cash flipping the bird? Diametric opposition to anything remotely feminine in form or spirit. In the awesomest way.) So what if I would buy the Skullbury Bag for myself? Like the old Irish Spring commercials said, we like it too.

Defy Bags, from around $150.00 @ Defy Bags 

Weird Ass-Enhancing Thingies That We Don't So Much Covet

Are there really men out there who would buy these, seriously?

And if there are, could you point them out to me, please, so that I can laugh at them?

Thank you.

(Don't even get me started on the 'Pouch Pads.' DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED. Just know that they are out there, and be afraid for the fate of Western Civilization.)
